Our waiter kept our glasses full the entire time my friends and I were there. The food was delicious. We ordered the fried ravioli to share around the table and we finished it before I could take a picture. The mains had too good flavor and not over powering. I ordered the tri tip dip and it was delicious. The bread was fluffy, soft and perfectly toasted. The tri tip was soft, flavorful and falling apart. The fries were fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. E erything was perfectly seasoned. The maybe disappointing dish I tried was their house made Andes mint ice cream. It was all mint and no chocolate flavor. It reminded me and my friends of mint toothpaste. The taste of mintiness after brushing ones teeth. The texture was a little stringy, almost like Turkish ice cream. I'll definitely pass and try something different next time.

If you're in Woodland, Mojo's Lounge & Kitchen428 Restaurant is one of those places that just gets…read moreit right across the board. The location is perfect right in the heart of downtown, surrounded by history and that small town charm Woodland is known for. You walk in and immediately feel the character of the place. It's not manufactured, it's real, and that matters. The atmosphere is on point. It balances upscale and relaxed in a way that works whether you're there for a date night, business dinner, or just grabbing a drink. The lounge has great energy and always feels alive without being too much. The food speaks for itself. Consistently high quality, fresh, and well executed. You can tell there's intention behind every dish, not just going through the motions. For the level of quality you're getting, the value is absolutely there. Service is a big reason this place stands out. Christy is amazing. She genuinely cares, remembers people, and makes sure you're taken care of the right way. It never feels forced, just natural hospitality. This is one of those spots that's become part of Woodland's identity. You see regulars, new faces, families, and business meetings all happening at once. That kind of mix only happens when a place is doing something right. If you're looking for great food, strong atmosphere, real service, and a place that actually represents the community, this is it.

My second time eating here, and honestly, I probably won't be back for the actual food. The first…read moretime I had a dry sandwich. This time, three of us ordered burgers, and they were some of the driest, most flavorless burgers I've ever had. Burger Saloon, I'll never betray you again. The experience itself felt unreal. We found out our waitress was on her 4th day working and she literally quit after taking our order. You truly can't make this stuff up. Another server had to come retake our order, and even then things still came out wrong. I asked for no cheese because I'm lactose intolerant, but my burger came with cheese anyway. Out of 7 drinks ordered, 3 were forgotten. One drink specifically requested no sugar on the rim and came out with sugar. I did feel bad for the replacement server. He looked incredibly nervous and was visibly shaking. Despite all the mishaps, we still left him a good tip because it honestly seemed like the whole place was struggling that night.

It was not surprisingly packed for a Saturday night and I think one or two other families were celebrating birthdays. We started off with Tri Tip Tot-chos and they were deliciously addicting. So much we ended up eating half our dinner and taking the rest home. The tri tip had great flavor to go along with the crispy tots. The boneless ribeyes were so great! Nicely seared on both sides amd seasoned perfect. Tender to the cut and bite. Buckhorn is a restaurant I know I can come to and get great quality steak in a consistent basis. Hope to be back there sooner than later... and I'll definitely order those Tot-chos again.

The wagyu had a richness that's hard to find, and the ribeye held its own right alongside it. The sourdough bread as a side was simple but really good -- don't skip it. We also had a chance to try a couple different wines before committing, which our server made easy and relaxed. The staff was friendly and patient the whole night. We took our time figuring out what to order and nobody made us feel rushed -- they came back to the table multiple times without any pressure. We were there to celebrate an accomplishment and the atmosphere fit the occasion well. On a previous visit the German potato soup was one of the best I've had, and it's still something I think about. Already planning to come back.

An actual old bank vault turned into a whiskey room. It's got history, character, and honestly nothing around here compares. It reminds me of what places like Gomez's Restaurant and Tequileria did with their tequila wall, but this is on another level. It feels authentic and you can tell it was done with intention. The food is always solid. Good portions, good flavor, and consistent every time. It's the kind of place you can rely on whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal. What really makes it though is the people. Patrick is an amazing person. You can tell he genuinely cares about the place, the staff, and the customers. It shows in how everything runs. It feels real, not forced. And honestly, this is the only place in town I'm grabbing a Guinness. They do it right and the whole vibe just fits. Good food, great atmosphere, and even better people. Cheers.

I was happy to oblige. Fabulously attentive service. The goat cheese butter with the bread was a great start. Decadence in a bite. Then the rack of lamb with potato croquette arrived and honestly stole the whole meal -- perfectly crisp outside, creamy all the way through. The rack of lamb was cooked correctly but lacked character. Lamb should taste like lamb, and this one played it too safe. Not bad, just forgettable. The vegetables let the plate down. Overcooked Brussels sprouts and unevenly cooked sweet potato aren't what you expect at this price point. Worth the visit. That croquette alone earns it.

We made reservations but saw many walk-ins who were accommodated. One thing noted was the price, as entrees ranged from $42-65. Not somewhere easily affordable to college students, and Mustard Seed drew older patrons. That being said, the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Popular on a Tuesday night which spoke volume to the quality of the food. We ordered crab cakes as starter, were served complimentary rolls with goat cheese butter spread, and also had rack of lamb, pan seared duck breast and pesto prawn pasta.

I recently enjoyed my first (and definitely not my last) dining experience at the HIVE tasting room and kitchen in Woodland, CA. I enjoyed it; the food was delicious and customer service on point. I went there with the intent of mead wine tasting but ended up not since I had driving duties. [Fun fact: mead wine has less alcohol content than grape wine.] Instead I ordered lunch and washed it down with their honey ice tea. The iced tea had a prominent honey taste. Hubs luved his, but my tastebuds were confused. Odd though because I luv honey and iced tea. We also ordered a Ruben sandwich $22 and an order of waffles. The sandwich was classic with the familiar flavors. Nice quality cut of meat, thinly shaved. The waffles $17 were topped with blueberries, slivered almonds, and orange blossom whipped ricotta cream which I asked for on the side. The ricotta cream was divine. The waffles tasted pretty darn good. However the pricing for both entrees seemed high for the serving size. But this is a type of place where folks can eat and linger to enjoy the grounds, atmosphere, and each other's company without anyone rushing you out. We enjoyed our meal out in the back outdoor patio. The landscaping is all organic with lots of pollinating and drought resistant plants and trees. The building is a zero energy building with an onsite brewing facility. The interior has a brand newish look and feel. There is a honey tasting and mead wine tasting counter, gift shop, and dining area. All of this is in an open floor plan. The indoor seating capacity is limited. The place can be rented out for events (such as a garden wedding), private facility tours. Plus they host community events. Take a peek at their website. Some events are free. Events range from tours, book readings, yoga classes, flower bouquet class, gardening... etc.

I started with their seasonal beet soup, and had the open faced lox and arugula toast. For dessert I had the dulce de leche mousse which was divine, and a bite of their cannollis too. We even squeezed in a honey tasting! My favorite was the clover, although there definitely some interesting ones like avocado, mango, coffee, Hawaiian, and other regional ones I'd never heard of before! Some gave cinnamony notes, some marshmallowy, malty/cola-esque, and more. The hot honey was also a nice kick. Did not try any of their meads yet. They also had a few events coming up, including the Science of Mead and a Valentine's Day thing. When the weather is warmer I'll come back to hang out on the patio!

We got there right at opening and the server/hostess, Aurora, greeted us with a warm smile and welcome. There are two choices of spots to sit at - low tables/booths or high top tables with stools. We opted for a low table. I ordered the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and my friend ordered the Chinichurri Tri-Tip sandwich with a side salad. When our meals came out, we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! I feel like I had a lot of fries on my plate and the sandwich was stuffed with meat! The side salad and tri-tip was pretty hefty too. My sandwich was DELICIOUS! I was only able to eat half so I left with half for lunch the next day. My friend was the same. I love when I can get two meals out of one!! The restaurant carries a very fun vibe. I can imagine it is so lively when it is packed! There is an area in the back that gives off a speakeasy vibe. Overall, awesome restaurant! Great food, awesome service and chill vibe.

About 20 mins went by and it seemed like a table was being put together and cleaned for us to be seated.

Decided to take our business elsewhere and after reading comments and other reviews, this seems like the standard here. Wouldn't recommend it just due to the poor service.
